Memoji not animated on MacBook Air (2020) M1 running macOs Monterey

My Memoji does not animate on the lock screen like it's seen everywhere else with macOS Monterey 12.0.1. I have tried restarting, shutting down, locking, putting the laptop to sleep, no luck. My laptop is provided by Work but I don't know if that has to do anything with this.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.0

Thank you, this resource and doing it in a specific flow actually worked for me. Here are the steps for anyone trying to figure out the same.


System Preferences -> User & Groups -> Select the Account on the left -> Click on the account picture on the right -> Now create a new Memoji or select an existing one you have already created. -> Adjust Zoom, Pose and Style -> Click Save. -> Lock the screen and see for yourself If the Memoji is animated.


Note: If you see a square border around your Memoji preview in the bottom left, you probably have to start over.

Greetings, nitishanand99.


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. It’s understandable that you’d want your Memoji to be animated. 


Take a look at the following resource to ensure that you have selected the correct Memoji for login: Change a user’s login picture on Mac 


We hope this helps! Thanks for being a part of the community.
